Abstrakt: | Introduction: Individuals with psychosis spectrum disorders may be negatively
affected by exclusion and rejection. It is important to answer “why”?
This article presents social representations of schizophrenia in Polish society.
Aims: The study’s aim was to examine the properties of the sixty-item questionnaire
on attitudes, attribution and beliefs about schizophrenia in the
Polish sample and to compare the results with the results obtained in the
English-Chinese sample.
Methods: The study included 398 participants (aged 19–74); all were
working persons. Furnham and Chan created the questionnaire, a tool
containing 60 items describing general beliefs about schizophrenia, causal
explanations in the etiology of schizophrenia, as well as beliefs about the
role of hospitals and society in the treatment of schizophrenia. Factor analysis
(PAF) was carried out separately for three parts of the tool.
Results: The structure of the questionnaire that was obtained on the Polish
sample differs from that obtained on the English-Chinese sample. Some
factors remain similar. Reliability analysis based on Cronbach’s Alpha
values reached satisfactory levels in most of the factors revealed.
Conclusions: The questionnaire is a reliable tool for examining social representations
of schizophrenia. The Polish sample does not show punitive
inclinations, does not attribute negative traits to schizophrenics, and does
not agree to creating social distance. |
